One Of THOSE Days!

As I sit here I'm not sure how to describe it... My afternoon meeting overran, then I had a power cut in my office - so I decided to join Dan & Phil fishing. We fished from 6pm to 9pm.

Turn up

Loose my kit first cast

Loose my kit second cast

Loads of weed make fishing impossible

Loose kit again

Dan gets a barbel, I net it (1lb)

Can't get the camera to work

Dan gets second barbel

I go to net it, netpole breaks, net floats away

Dan falls in!

Phil nets barbel for wet Dan (1lb 8oz)

Dan puts on big (barbed) hook and trawls for net

Once hooked he pulls it into the side

I go to grab it, hook transfers from net to my hand

Net washes away. F**kin' b**** f***** t***

Rip hook from my hand, by now I'm p***** *** (and a bit bloody)

Can see net in the shallow water just downstream

Strip to boxers and Dan's (already wet) shoes and wade in...

It's not that shallow!

Pick up net, turns out to be a chair frame covered in weed

For f**** ***** b***** **** c***** *****'s sake!

Search about for submerged net

Now have an audience, including "what's that man doing daddy?"

Wade back, dry off and head to a friend's leaving do

M*** ***** the ******** *******!!

2lb 8oz on the barbel challenge... Well done Dan. Phil filmed some of this, including the episode with me wading about - as soon as he puts in on YouTube I'll link to it here. [Edit: No, we weren't drunk!]

Haha dont worry about it brian, The Fishing is slow all over at the moment, The weather has been like April most of this month and in places the Fish are late spawning, Could be a hundred things that have changed the fishing, It will be right when its ready,Good Luck,,,,Paddy,,,
